Product description
Author: Dominika Walawender-Musz
Another book from the ‘Silva Rerum’ series, devoted to one painting, which does not mean that it is poorer in content than works about entire galleries. It happens that such books say a lot about the various surroundings of the painting, that they are like a stone thrown into deep water, around which wider and wider circles spread. Dominika Walawender-Musz discusses the painting depicting the entry of Prince Michał Kazimierz Radziwiłł into Rome, the ceremonial interlude preceding the meeting with the Pope. In this wonderful baroque spectacle, everyone plays important roles, characters in exotic costumes, musicians and animals, as well as onlookers who observe and comment on the procession gliding against the background of the palaces and churches of the eternal city. Page by page we are getting closer to the old Polish Sarmatians with their rituals, gestures, hierarchy of values – in the splendour, but also in the deep shadows of the changing world of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.
